I will be out today. Here are the assignments you are expected to complete.

Classwork:


1. Journal Entry #11

Select one: diction, syntax, or organization. In a paragraph, explain how 2 specific examples (of whichever device you select) contribute to the overall effectiveness of Buckley's editorial.

2. Multiple Choice Questions for "Why Don't We Complain?" Write your answers IN YOUR JOURNAL with the appropriate heading.

3. Complete the Multiple Choice handout. You may work with a partner but do NOT write on my handout.

Homework:


1. Read "I Know What You Did Last Math Class". Then, in your journal, respond to the following:
  • Do you agree that parent portals are useful tools to ensure students are academically successful? What is your experience with such a tool? (No qualifying...AGREE or DISAGREE only)
  • Is this purposeful use of technology? Why or why not?
  • What type of editorial is this (yesterday's notes)? Is this effective or not? How would you alter the editorial type to improve the effectiveness?

2. We are going to be reading "Future Schlock" by Neil Postman tomorrow or Friday. Since the article is 7 pages, I only made 15 copies which would cause many of us to have to share. If you desire your own hard copy, please click the title of the editorial above, and print.
